SHOPPING LIST

Whole Chicken, butter, Garlic, Dried Parsley, Dried Rosemary, Dried Thyme

INGREDIENTS

1 whole chicken (about 3 pounds)
1/2 cup butter of margarine, softened
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

  1. Preheat the broiler.  Cut the chicken into serving size pieces.  Line the broiler pan with foil and place the chicken on the prepared pan.
  2. Combine butter, garlic, parsley, rosemary and thyme and mix well.
  3. Spread the butter herb mixture evenly over the top of the chicken.
  4. Broil the chicken turning and coating frequently with the remaining butter herb mixture until the juices run clear when the thickest portion of the chicken is pierced with a knife (about 30 minutes).

VARIATION

For a citrusy taste, substitute 1/4 cup lime juice for the butter and garlic.

EXPRESS COOKING

If you have a garlic press, drop the entire unpeeled garlic clove into the press, squeeze and discard the skin.

You can also reduce the broiling time by using boneless chicken breasts.  Prepare the recipe as usual, but reduce the broiling time to about 15 minutes.

MONEY SAVING TIPS
